If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

My nephew had the same issue and we just ignored it bc his school said they had everything. But then he didn't get his full financial aid package and had to appeal!!! Turns out there WAS a problem with his FAFSA even though the school said they had it. Something about incomplete parent contribution info that didn't transfer right. So maybe double check everything to be safe?
This is a good point. While the warning itself is likely a display bug, it's always wise to verify all parts of the application were received correctly. Specifically check that: 1. The SAI calculation is complete 2. All parent contribution sections show as completed 3. All schools on the list confirm they received the FULL data package Sometimes schools receive partial FAFSA data, which can cause issues later in the financial aid packaging process.

Update: I finally got through to FSA after using that Claimyr service someone recommended (which actually worked surprisingly well). The agent confirmed it's definitely just a display glitch and our FAFSA is fully processed and properly transmitted to all schools. They said they're still working on fixing various UI bugs from the FAFSA Simplification rollout. For anyone else seeing this issue - if your SAI is calculated and your schools confirm receipt, you can ignore the expiration warning! Thanks everyone for your help!

•Glad to hear you got confirmation! This is great information. The new FAFSA system is definitely still working through some growing pains. For future reference, always save confirmation numbers and screenshots of any "processed" status pages - they can be invaluable if questions come up later.

•Thanks for updating us!! The whole system is SUCH a mess this year. My daughter's friend just got a completely different error saying her parents' tax info was missing when they definitely entered it. These glitches are giving everyone anxiety!!

@OP did you get through to anyone? I'm curious if they were able to fix it for you. When I had my issue, the agent actually told me these auto-submissions happen most often when you're editing the financial information sections specifically.
I finally got through! Used that Claimyr service and it worked perfectly - got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes. They confirmed my corrections were indeed partially submitted but flagged as incomplete. They've reset my application status and I now have a special link to resume my corrections. Going to finish them all tonight! Thank you everyone for your help!!

might sound dumb but did u check ur email? sometimes they send a special link to complete signatures that bypasses the regular login process. i ignored mine for like a week then finally found it lol
NeonNova
•Not dumb at all! Checking email folders now... you never know! These days I'm willing to try absolutely anything to get this resolved.

UPDATE: We finally got it working!! It was actually a combination of things: 1) Having my parent use the "Fill out a parent form for a student who has already started a FAFSA form" option 2) Using incognito mode to prevent cookie issues 3) Making sure the email address matched exactly what was on the initial application. Thanks everyone for your help! The new FAFSA system is such a maze to navigate.
Glad you got it resolved! For anyone else reading this thread with similar issues, I recommend taking screenshots of each step of the FAFSA process in case you need to backtrack later. The new system sometimes loses information between sections.

•Congrats! Now prepare yourself for the verification process - that's a whole new level of paperwork fun 🙃

Update: I was able to add University of Tampa to my daughter's FAFSA! It was actually pretty simple. I logged in with my parent FSA ID, clicked on "Make FAFSA Corrections" and then went to the school selection page. Tampa's school code is 001538. The FAFSA is now reprocessing but should be sent to Tampa in 3-5 days according to the confirmation page. Also, I checked their financial aid website and they do require the CSS Profile for merit scholarships, but not for need-based aid. Now I just need to figure out if we need to submit that too since she has pretty good grades. Thanks everyone for your help!
That's great news! Glad to hear it worked out smoothly. For the CSS Profile, if your daughter's GPA and test scores are competitive for Tampa's merit scholarships, it's probably worth completing. Merit aid can significantly reduce costs at private universities, sometimes making them comparable to state schools. The CSS Profile is more detailed but not terribly difficult if you have all your financial information handy.

Hey just wanted to update - I called my financial aid offices after seeing your post because I was having the same issue. One of them told me they have a huge backlog this year because of the FAFSA Simplification Act changes. They said April is now their target for sending out most packages, which is way later than normal. Might be worth asking your schools if they have specific timeline estimates this year.

•Thank you so much for sharing that! It's frustrating but at least if it's happening to everyone I can stop worrying that something's wrong with my specific application.
